Not the Roman IX - Stratford. Lovely cold sunny day (after howling wind & rain all night!)
Started easy, knew there was a long uphill coming before halfway so jogged along lightly. Watch was saying 9:30ish m/m so tried to hold back so as not to die on the hill. First uphill was long and gentle, slowed for a quick chat with Mick n Phil on the up but then went on. 2nd sharp hill just before halfway got the better of me and had to stop for a quick walk (about 10 secs) not far from the top. Lots of downhill from halfway, obviously better than uphill, but then a strain on the knees, so held back a bit. Pace overall really really pleasing although it was tough!o

Forgot to stop Garmin at finish - Official (gun) time 1:14:16 - started (and finished) near the back. Finished 534/577
